Chicken Wire Empire

Wisconsin-based bluegrass band known for their dynamic musicality, thorough arrangements, and true-to-life songwriting and for captivating audiences with thoughtful, energetic performances. Americana Highways writes “These musicians must enjoy what they do because their joy translates through their instruments. The energy, fingering techniques are all proponents that deliver substance with a modicum of joy. There aren’t any low points, missteps, loss of heat in any of these melodies.” Chicken Wire Empire has partnered with dozens of artists from all corners of the bluegrass genre, from Sam Bush and Peter Rowan to Vince Herman and Keller Williams. Their forthcoming album features guest appearances from Grammy-winning artists Jerry Douglas and Kyle Tuttle. Special advance discounted tickets, $20, available only directly from the box office at 207-633-5159. Regular tickets $25. Tickets on sale beginning June 2.
